The Impact of the New Media

This event is about blogs and politics, but it's also about something else, which is the relationship of this medium to other media. I didn't like—you know, old media/new media sounded like old Europe and new Europe. And one of the things I hope we talk about is the inter-activity between these media, the extent to which—here I'll set off a lot of bloggers—to which the blog world is to some degree parasitic on the old media, and to what extent does it add to what is called the old media.
